ASSIGNMENT 3: Promoting a reading culture in a classroom.

This assignment is based on Units 5 and 6 in Tutorial Letter 501. It is important that
you work through these two units (as well as pages 129–156 and 177–198 of the
prescribed textbook, Introducing Children’s Literature: A Guide to the South African
Classroom (2017) by Evans, et al.) before you attempt this assignment. Answer the
questions below in full sentences.

Question 1

1.1 In your own words, define rhyme.

Rhyme is a poetic device where words have similar sounds at the end of lines or
phrases. This similarity creates a pleasing effect and can enhance the rhythm and flow
of poetry or song lyrics. Rhymes can happen between single words or within longer
phrases, and they often serve to unify a piece of writing or emphasize certain ideas or
emotions.

1.2 In your own words, explain the difference between end rhyme and
internal rhyme.
According to my understanding, end rhyme is when the last words of two or
more lines in a poem sound the same, like “cat” and “bat”.
